How do universities choose their majors?

How to choose a major in a university is as follows:

Interests: What do you like?

I put my interest in the first lecture, which is really important, but it doesn't mean that it's over without choosing my favorite major.

Because: I agree that "interest is cultivated", and the development and stability of interest depends on the individual's recognition of the value and significance of the task and continuous efforts; The "interest" mentioned here is not necessarily the real interest, and this part should be seen together with the professional training objectives and learning content.

How to match interests with majors? There is a strong correlation between choosing a major and choosing a career in the future. At present, the common career interest matching will also refer to the results of career interest test.

Personality: Suitable for what:

Personality refers to people's habitual and stable behavior. When personality matches professional characteristics, it means that they are more suitable for this.

And how to measure it, it is necessary to mention the controversial MBTI. It tests from four dimensions, and divides people into two categories in each dimension, thus dividing everyone into 16 categories.

Although MBTI is not recognized in research, it is embarrassing that people still like to use MBTI in application, because classification is a more "efficient" method and there are professional libraries to correspond to it.

Ability: competent for what:

Of course, this ability not only refers to "cleverness" in our life, but also includes many aspects. For example, Gardner, a cognitive psychologist, distinguished and summarized eight abilities: logical-mathematical ability, which is related to reasoning, discovering laws and logical order, and is also the easiest thing to think of when we mention the word "ability";

Language ability is the ability to express language fluently and efficiently; However, other musical ability, body-kinesthetic ability, spatial ability, interpersonal ability, introspection ability and naturalism ability are relatively easy to be ignored.
